Route 69 : The 69 Eyes
85: Like, 2006. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Deadly riffs, massive sound and gothic horror imagery. Here is the recipe with which The 69 Eyes has conquered the globe from Tokyo to Hollywood and from Rovaniemi to Sao Paulo. The 69 Eyes started their career with motorized glam rock, from which the leap towards dark gothic rock changed the future of Finnish rock. Today, The 69 Eyes are Finland's biggest rock exports and, along with HIM and Nightwish, the most followed bands in Scandinavia. Photographer Ville Juurikkala has been the trusted photographer of The 69 Eyes for years. For this book, he toured with The 69 Eyes for a month on the band's first American tour, which opened the door to the US record market for good. In addition, Juurikkala has photographed the band's tours in Brazil, Japan and Europe, which have also ended up as pictures in the book. The texts are Jyrki 69's personal diary entries from the USA tour. The book also contains the band's history and discography.
